Pre-Workshop Reflection
"When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:" - Matthew 5:1-2
-
What does Jesus do when he sees crowds following him?
-
Why does he first go up the mountain?
-
Why does he sit with the crowds as he teaches?
-
How has God been a teacher to you?
-
How has he shared his passion for teaching with you?
As you facilitate Workshop 1's discussion, ponder the mystery of God Himself taking on the role of teacher and His desire to share this ministry with you and your colleagues.
